Speaking practice

Hi there!

Here's a very good page I found for you to practise dialogues. Here you can listen to short dialogues on everyday situations. And here you can practise the part that you would do as a user of English in real life situations (similar to the first task of the oral exam, where you do a role-play with the examiner).

Hope it helps!
